FRIENDS OF MAX JOIN HANDS WITH LIVESTRONG ON LIVESTRONG DAY

As all the Friends of Max from the four corners of this vast land gathered together to celebrate their lives in all its glory, their joy and spirits were testimony to the philosophy propounded by none other than Gandhi ji himself, whose birth anniversary also falls on October 2nd. “Suffering cheerfully endured, ceases to be suffering and is transmuted into an ineffable joy” is what he once said and Living Strong and with Joy and Hope in our lives each one of the 14,500 strong Friends of Max support group was proud to be part of LIVESTRONG DAY today. Here was a living legend who inspired and motivated them to face the challenge of cancer with cheer and strength!

Another All India Friends of Max meeting came to a stupendous conclusion last week. I say this because indeed this gathering of literally hundreds of survivors and caregivers is not restricted to just the one day on which it is held . it is a culmination of months of effort and at least three days of frenetic and focused activity totally devoted to giving the participants all they need in terms of Sharing and Learning from each other .

It was in May 2010, Hyderabad made the adventurous announcement of hosting the next Annual Meeting of Friends of Max – HELLO HYDERABAD! After months of planning and preparations, everything was going as per plan. However days before the event trouble started for the city and team Hyderabad.
